Personal Statement
My name is Aleah Hayes and I am a 2009 graduate form Ozark High School in Ozark, Missouri. I have been around volleyball and playing my entire life. My mom is an amazing coach and I owe my success to her. I first held a volleyball at the age of 18 months and have been in love with the game ever since. Volleyball is my passion and love. I thank God every night for him giving me the talents that I have, because without him, I would not be successful. I am currently a Junior, I carry a 4.0 grade point average and I am 1st in my class of 373 students. I am taking many honor courses and college prep classes. My goal is to attend a college/university where I will succeed, graduate with my masters degree, and be pushed academically and athletically. I am looking for a school that offers degree programs that involve Early Childhood Development, Physiology, Counseling, Financial Advising or Business Management. I enjoy helping others and love teaching toddlers and elementary students. I want to be part of a hard-working, dedicated, and determined volleyball program. Success will come with hard work. I am a team player and strongly agree with the statement, "There is no I in TEAM, but in WIN!" You put your team first, not yourself, and that is what I plan to do. I know my positive and energetic attitude will help me accomplish my goal to play at the college level and continue playing for many years after.
